Use sinusoidal phasors, . Differentiation becomes multiplication by , so the time-dependent element laws reduce to algebraic complex impedances:Then encodes both amplitude ratio and voltage-current phase difference . Series impedances add, while parallel admittances add. This applies to linear sinusoidal steady state; switching transients are separate homogeneous solutions.
